My Travel Story

Since I was a child, my only dream was to become well-traveled and well-experienced enough to craft myself into a storyteller. I have always been interested in learning different cultures and being able to bring those experiences and perspectives back home to share with my friends and family. My goals are to fully immerse myself in a different culture and lifestyle, learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, and become a storyteller of my own personal experiences. I am a first-generation Vietnamese-American college student. By witnessing my parents' hardships, it only encouraged me to work even harder to accomplish my goals. They continue to inspire me every day with their will and dedication. That is why I decided that studying abroad at Grady's Cannes Lions Advertising Festival is the one opportunity I refuse to miss.

I am fascinated with the integration of art and business. In order to nurture and grow my creative storytelling nature, I taught myself how to use Adobe CC Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I also took on photography using a Canon EOS Rebel T3i. I am currently majoring in Advertising, minoring in Women Studies, and completing a certificate in New Media. As a college student, I involve myself in several campus activities, such as community/volunteer service, and international organizations. I volunteer my time as the Promotional Strategy Coordinator for University Union, promoting diversity and inclusiveness on campus using my advertising skills. I am also the Social Media and Communication Strategy Intern for The Cottage, Sexual Assault Center and Children's Advocacy Center, where I spread awareness about sexual assault and the services the nonprofit provides for victims. By putting myself in unfamiliar situations, I push my own personal growth to its limits. I am always searching for ways to improve my communication skills and understanding of the advertising industry, and I believe this study abroad program is necessary for me to further my knowledge. Help me follow my dreams and help me fund my first-ever study abroad trip to Cannes Lions Advertising Festival, an opportunity to grow as an individual and network with amazing professionals in the field.
